How do I make a game update at a consistent speed? For example, this would loop too fast:

while(true)  
{    
                   GetInput();  
                   Render();  
}

This just wont work (hard to explain):

while(true)  
{    
                   GetInput();  
                   Render();  
                   Sleep(16);
}

How do I sync my game to a certain framerate and still have input and functions going at a consistent rate?
